No Moore to be Had; Gaubert Out

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Charles Moore
Charles Moore

A short-stacked Charles "Woody" Moore shoved all in under the gun for his last 1,725 and received a call from the player in the small blind. Moore tabled {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} but needed to improve against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Moore, who has locked up enough points for this year's National Championship, the board ran out {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and he was sent to the rail.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Gaubert has also been eliminated after his {9-}{9-} lost to {A-}{J-} after an ace spiked on the river.

Kenny Milam, we'll be seeing him at the 7pm flight.

Kenny Milam was just leaving the tournament floor after busting. He told us he flopped an open-ended straight draw that never hit and his opponent had top pair.

Another three levels are down which means it's time for another 15-minute break. When they return, the remaining players will play three more levels before calling it a night, at which time Day 1b will begin!

Hawkins Joins the Leaders

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Brian Hawkins is seated at an out-of-the-way table and stuck in the corner. We just saw him raise on the button to 925 after the cutoff limped. The blinds released and the cutoff called.

The flop came {5-Spades} {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, the cutoff checked and Hawkins bet 850. The limper folded and Hawkins took the pot, pushing his stack up to 58,000.

Easley Eases Back In

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We just saw Seneca Easley on the tournament floor and he informed us that he's re-entered after reading, right here in this blog, that the option to do so in the same starting flight was available. No doubt he is looking for a little better luck than he had earlier in the day when he had his pocket rockets cracked.

Sengphet On the Move

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
La Sengphet is all smiles after that hand.
La Sengphet is all smiles after that hand.

We caught up with this hand on the flop of {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} and La Sengphet bet 2,825. There was already around 5,000 in the pot already and she got one caller. The turn came {8-Diamonds} and Sengphet took a long while before deciding to bet 7,200. Her opponent took just as long to fold and Sengphet is at 33,000.

One for Hankins

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matthew Hankins opened for 650 from early position and found four callers, including the hijack, cutoff and both blinds. It was five-way action to the {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop, which everyone checked. When the {8-Spades} was turned, it went check-check to Hankins and he bet 1,150. Only the small blind came along for the ride and both players ended up checking the {7-Diamonds} river.

The small blind revealed {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for kings with a ten kicker, but it was no good against the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} of Hankins. The latter is hovering around the starting stack with 19K.
